Associate Dean: Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.

Course: DEVS 353
Term: Winter
Year: 2021
Category: Drop a course after the academic deadline

Dear Miriam Mivasair:

I was sorry to read about the extenuating circumstances that you had experienced during the Winter term and I have carefully considered your appeal to drop DEVS 353 (Winter 2021) past the academic deadline. After reviewing your file, I have decided to grant your request.

I have granted this appeal based on the severity of your extenuating circumstances as well as the proactive steps that you had taken by connecting with Student Wellness Services and obtaining academic accommodations when your concussion occurred. I suggest that going forward, if you find that your symptoms continue to impact your academics, that you consider dropping classes before the academic deadline of the term.

Note that any change in academic registration may impact government or private-firm student financial assistance eligibility and/or funding. Please consult with the Student Awards Office, Office of the University Registrar, Gordon Hall, to understand the potential implications of changes to course or program registration and/or the consequences of not successfully completing the required course load.

Yours sincerely,

Jenn Stephenson, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Academic)
